Formation: It is derived from the Vulgar Latin modal construction infinitive +the Present Indicative of the auxiliary  habere (Ast. haber) to have, which is of a future meaning. In Asturian writing, as in Spanish,  the forms of haber were appended to the infinitive to make a whole word, cf.: falar he > falaré, falar has > falarás etc. Note that the initial h- was ommitted and that in the 2 p. pl. the verbal form habéis was shortened to -éis.
